Zucchini Flower

The most common way to serve the blossoms cooked is to stuff with a soft cheese and pan or deep fry. The blossoms and the fruit can be chopped and added to risotto and pasta, used as a filling for tacos and quesadillas, or cooked atop pizza, casseroles and quiche. The flavor of zucchini flower pairs well with tomatoes, garlic, red bell pepper, stewed pork, black beans, cilantro, pine nuts, olive oil, ricotta cheese, and light bodied vinegars.
